This one day course brings your team up to speed with the foundational elements of ‘speaking data’, from statistical concepts such as percentiles, means and correlations to treating outliers, ‘de-averaging’ and handling seasonal effects.

Applying these principles has radically improved data visualisation take up and understanding in many organisations.
